Estimated one-time setup and remediation costs are approximately $694,000 driven by facility retrofits, HVAC/amnestic integration, and contingency reserves. Recurring annual costs are approximately $1,743,200 driven primarily by research & R&D, on-site medical/security wages, and legal/contingency readiness.

⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
94.5% probability / year
Normal year with no major incidents; routine containment, research, and readiness activities proceed as planned.
no breaches routine inspections standard amnestic use
🚨 Minor Incident $1.9M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$150K vs baseline
Localized containment incident requiring emergency amnestic deployment, extended medical overtime, limited remediation and legal/PR response.
localized breach small public exposure vandalized infographic or workplace incident
🚨 Major Breach $3.7M/yr
0.5% probability / year +$2.0M vs baseline
Widespread exposure or high-profile public incident requiring large-scale legal action, mass amnestic deployments, extensive remediation, and potential site shutdown.
public contamination mass singing/transmission event loss of containment for multiple instances
👥 Personnel 8 total
Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 3 [#20] Additional guards for containment wing and escort duties (2–4 recommended; 3 assumed on duty).
Medical Officer 2 [#12] On-site clinicians (physician/lead clinician coverage and part-time physician equivalents included in wage estimate).
Nurse / Medical Technician 2 [#12] Full-time nurses/techs for 24/7 care and amnestic administration support.
Amnestic Specialist 1 [#12] Trained operator certified to handle Class A Amnestic; one present per shift/coverage model (count reflects on-duty presence).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed per-item ranges and sensible assumptions for a medium site, but significant uncertainty remains due to transmissibility dynamics, incident scale variability, and choice of contingency reserve levels.
